Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Region Gene Replacement as a Mechanism for Receptor Revision in Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Tissue B Lymphocytes
Mature B cells can alter their antibody repertoires by several mechanisms, including immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (V(H)) replacement. This process changes the antigen combining site by replacing a portion of the original V(H)/diversity/heavy chain joining region (V(H)DJ(H)) rearrangement with a corresponding portion of a new V(H) segment. This exchange can involve cryptic heptamer...
متن کاملHeavy-chain receptor editing unbound.
With all of the certainty of death and taxes, questions regarding the mechanisms of immunological tolerance remain fixtures across the landscape of immunology. From Paul Ehlirch’s “horror autotoxicus” (reviewed in ref. 1) to the current synthesis of tolerance by apoptosis, anergy, and receptor editing (2), the mechanisms of immunological tolerance remain, despite substantial research effort, en...
متن کاملRegulation of immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene rearrangements.
Regulated assembly of antigen receptor gene segments to produce functional genes is a hallmark of B- and T-lymphocyte development. The immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) and T-cell receptor beta-chain genes rearrange first in B and T lineages, respectively. Both loci require two recombination events to assemble functional genes; D-to-J recombination occurs first followed by V-to-DJ recombination....
متن کاملImmunoglobulin kappa chain receptor editing in systemic lupus erythematosus.
To determine whether receptor editing of Vkappa genes was involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the usage of Vkappa and Jkappa gene elements from individual peripheral CD19(+) B cells obtained from a patient with untreated SLE was examined. No differences in the Vkappa and Jkappa gene usage in the nonproductive gene repertoire of this SLE patient were noted compare...
متن کاملHeavy chain immunoglobulin gene rearrangement in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
Samples of leukemic cell DNA from 14 children with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) and 4 human myeloid leukemia cell lines were analyzed for rearrangement in the heavy chain region of the immunoglobulin gene. The diagnosis of ANLL was confirmed in all patients by morphological, cytochemical, and immunologic studies. By restriction endonuclease digestion and hybridization with cloned heavy ...
